Work of Devotion (2027)

Welcome to Work of Devotion, a raucous, profound, and decidedly contemporary story about a group of 8th century nuns in rural Italy desperate to make meaning out of their constrained lives. When their leader dies in a freak accident (don’t ask), the women ask themselves: How do we actually want to live? Written by Miranda Rose Hall, a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, this is a dazzlingly original world premiere play about devoting yourself to beauty, wonder, and the glorious absurdity of being alive.
